6 Indian markets feature in the top 10 list for tech talent acquisition across the APAC region. Tech sector continues to dominate office leasing across top markets in India.

 

 The Asia Pacific region is gaining momentum as a global tech talent hub, being home to three of the world’s top 10 locations – Beijing in China, Bengaluru in India and Tokyo in Japan.

A new report from Colliers, Global Tech Markets: Top Talent Locations 2025, examines more than 200 global markets based on their talent acquisition, venture capital (VC) funding, labour index, talent pipeline and sector composition. India and China continue to dominate the global technology talent landscape, with India ranking among the top destinations for tech talent both in the Asia Pacific as well as globally. India particularly stands out in terms of talent availability, with its top six cities making the top 10 list for tech talent acquisition in the APAC region.

Occupiers in the technology sector remain a cornerstone of office space demand across India’s top seven cities, driving Grade A space uptake in both conventional and flex spaces over the past years. During H1 2025, Tech occupiers leased over 10 million sq ft of office space across the top 7 cities, driving 40% of the conventional space demand. Within flex spaces too, nearly half of the demand came from Technology firms. The Tech sector dominance is driven by India's deep talent ecosystem, established IT infrastructure, and lower operational & talent costs, making it an ideal hub for global technology firms. Bengaluru and Hyderabad continue to remain preferred tech destinations in India, followed closely by other major markets, all of which attract global tech companies with skilled talent availability and a mature tech ecosystem.

Global Capability Centers (GCCs)—particularly those in the technology space—continue to drive India’s commercial real estate momentum. With a strong focus on innovation, scalability, and cost efficiency, India has firmly established itself as a global hub for GCC expansion, especially across its top office markets.

Other key findings of the report include:

• As a global leader in venture capital deal growth, Asia Pacific accounts for all the world’s top 10 markets, with China driving the surge in funding.

• India dominates talent acquisition, comprising six of the region’s top 10 cities for tech hiring. Singapore is the only non-Indian market in the top five. Other notable markets are TaipeiSydney and Melbourne for talent density. 

• TokyoSeoul and Australia are rising powerhouses. Tokyo ranks third regionally for sector composition and venture capital funding, with Seoul coming in fourth. Sydney, followed by Melbourne, leads the region’s overall productivity.

Globally, the number of new job postings that require expertise in AI has skyrocketed while traditional IT job listings have fallen. Data scientists and cybersecurity professionals are particularly in hot demand, making cities like Bengaluru, which has a high concentration of that talent, especially attractive to talent seekers. 

The report also reveals that the technology workforce is getting younger. In fact, between 2014 and 2022, workers under 25 years of age increased by 9% across the sector – a growth rate of more than 20 times the all-industry average. This is driving focus towards cities with younger talent pools like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Jakarta.
